Just picked up some Testolic (test prop) comes in 2ml vials @ 50mg/ml. Much to my disappointment as i was expecting Matatek test prop 250 but i wasn’t fast enough an the price was right so it will have to do for now.
I’m just looking for anyone with experience of the stuff really, i’m planning on running it at 50mg eod with 50mg ed of t’bol this is only a light cycle but i don’t want it to be too light obv. I’m just thinking if this is good pharma grade stuff 50mg mite be enuf.Testosterone propionate is a commonly manufactured, oil-based injectable testosterone compound. The propionate ester will slow the rate in which the steroid is released from the injection site, but only for a few days. Testosterone propionate is therefore much faster acting than other testosterone esters such as cypionate or enanthate, and requires a much more frequent dosing schedule, in order to maintain stable blood levels. While cypionate and enanthate are injected on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, propionate is usually injected every second. The propionate ester can be very irritating to the site of injection. In fact, many sensitive individuals choose to stay away from this steroid completely, their body reacting with a pronounced soreness and low-grade fever that may last for a few days.
Those who do not mind frequent injections will find propionate to be quite an effective steroid. As with all testosterones, it is a powerful mass drug, capable of producing rapid gains in size and strength. At the same time the buildup of estrogen and DHT (dihydrotestosterone) will be pronounced, so typical testosterone side effects are to be expected. Many consider propionate to be the mildest testosterone ester, and the preferred form for the dieting/cutting phases of training. Some will go so far as to say that propionate will harden the physique, while giving the user less water and fat retention than one typically expects to see with a testosterone. Realistically however, this is nonsense. The ester is removed before testosterone is active in the body, and likewise the ester cannot alter the activity of the parent steroid in any way, only slow its release. We can say that propionate might be the favored testosterone among female bodybuilders (for those who insist on testosterone use), as blood levels are easier to control with it compared to other esters. Should virilization symptoms develop, one would not wish to wait the weeks needed for testosterone concentrations to fall after a shot of enanthate for example.Testosterone propionate is a common oil-based injectable testosterone. The added propionate extends the activity of the testosterone but it is still comparatively much faster acting than other testosterone esters such as Cypionate and Enanthate. While cypionate and enanthate are injected weekly, propionate is most commonly injected at least every third day to keep blood levels steady. For strength and muscle mass gains, this drug is quite effective. With propionate, androgenic side effects seem somewhat less pronounced than with the other testosterones, probably due to the fact that blood levels do not build up as high. Users often report less gyno trouble, lower water retention and commonly claim to be harder on prop than with the others. This however is still a testosterone and, as with all testosterone products, androgenic side effects are unavoidable. It should also be noted that propionate is often a very painful injection. Users very regularly report swelling and noticeable pain for days after a shot.
Levels of the compound will peak after 24-36 hours of administering the drug and begin tapering from there (1,3). Therefore most individuals will inject testosterone propionate every day or every other day. This dosing schedule allows an individual to maintain a fairly consistent blood level of the compound, with injections every day obviously providing the more stable of the two options.
As with the other testosterone esters, the doses of the drug that are taken by users varies to a great degree depending on the experience and goals of the user. This also includes women administering testosterone. Women may find that testosterone propionate is the most manageable of the testosterone esters, along with possibly testosterone suspension or non-estered compounds, due to the fact that it is fast acting and that the dosing and administration of the compound can be quickly altered if negative side effects become overly burdensome. With longer acting esters these adjustments are much more difficult to make rapidly and side effects could become more pronounced and/or exaggerated. For this reason, females who use testosterone may want to begin with testosterone propionate when choosing which ester to use.
Many users will also often “”kick start”” their cycles that use long acting estered compounds with testosterone propionate so that they begin experiencing anabolic and androgenic effects much quicker in their cycles, without having to endure injections every day or every other day throughout their cycle. This “”kick start”” will usually last for three to five weeks until the long acting estered compounds have reached their peak blood concentrations. To do this, the user simply administers the testosterone propionate along with the long acting estered compounds.
Individuals may also end their cycles with testosterone propionate and/or other short acting esters so that their start time for their post cycle therapy is much closer to their last injection and blood levels remain more stable until the end of the steroid cycle.
